The outstanding
feature of Indian Classical Music is the Raga system. Raga is the basis
of all melody. A Raga Alapana reveals the highest degree of creativity,
musical acumen and versatility of a musician. Adherence to tradition and
a sound knowledge of the rules and laws that are ascribed to a raga are
essential qualities of a great musician. The ability of a student of Music
to elaborate a Raga will largely depend on the repertoire of compositions
he/she has and the knowledge gathered through continuous listening to eminent
masters of yester years. Here is one glorious opportunity for one and all
to listen and assimilate the nuances of Raga Alapana from one of the greatest
veterans of our times.
